> US President Donald Trump said his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held three hours of talks with Iranian officials in New York during the UN General Debate. Iran reportedly said reopening the Strait of Hormuz would require lifting the US naval blockade, unfreezing Iranian assets and ending the regional war. Trump warned he could “annihilate the Islamic Republic” without a deal.
